Q. 3- The following trapezoids are similar. What is the value of x ?
Identify sides and set up proportion: Identify the corresponding sides of the similar trapezoids and set up a proportion. Let's say the sides of the first trapezoid are a and b, and the sides of the second trapezoid are c and x. Set up the proportion ba=xc.
Plug in known values: Plug in the known values for a, b, and c. Assuming we know the values for a, b, and c, we substitute them into the proportion. For example, if a=4, b=8, and c=6, then 84=x6.
Solve for x: Solve for x by cross-multiplying.Cross-multiply to get 4x=6×8.
Complete calculation: Complete the calculation to find x.4x=48, so x=448.x=12.
